American layout for Windows
Edward Stratford
I modified the German layout to produce
something quite close to an American layout. The assignments as
printed on an American keyboard all apply with the exception of the
Grave accent key (far upper left) and the + key which retain the
assignments fo the German layout posted at the Hethitische Portal.
This layout was created with Microsoft keyboard Layout
Generator on a Windows XP Service Pack 2 Machine.
As a result
the = and plus sign are obtained by the combination of [LEFT ALT]+
[=] for '=', and [LEFT ALT] + [+] for '+', and [LEFT ALT] + [`] for ~
(as in the German Layout). The grave accent is obtained (as in
the German layout) though [LEFT ALT]+[g], [SPACE].
Other
adjustments obtain as well, the [, {, ], } characters in the German
layout that are the result of [LEFT ALT] combinations and keys in the
number row are gone.
The following other adjustments
apply:
[LEFT ALT] + q = § (the Section sign)
(U+00A7) .
I have tried it out on my computer and it
seems to work. All the instructions for the installation of the
keyboard posted with the font and associated keyboards apply.
Hope
that helps!
Thanks,
